Against All Odds

A Novel

"The story of a long-widowed proprietor of a top flight haute couture resale shop and her four adult children, who, in their search to find the right partners for themselves, encounter and struggle with some very difficult and modern problems facing young people today"-- Provided by publisher."Against All Odds is the wise, moving new novel from Danielle Steel, whose many #1 New York Times bestselling tales have made her one of America's favorite authors"-- Provided by publisher.A widow struggles with her grown children's plans to gamble their futures in their determination to pursue their hearts, from her daughter's illicit romance with a client to her son's decision to have children.

I am so upset that you keep putting Steel's books in the Cloud Library. I can't access it no matter how hard I try. It shows checked out to me, but when I try to read it, I have no luck. I do fine with the regular ebooks. Have a little pity on those of us who are elderly and please stop doing this!

In 'Against all odds," Danielle Steel has given a very detailed account of five relationships. Kate Madison has been widowed at a very young age and left to bring up 4 children. She does a great job till they grow up and enter into relationships. Will their suspect relationships - both gay and straight - succeed against all odds or are Kate's fears well-founded. The book provides a good account of these relationships.

I would rate this one of her better novels.
Interesting characters, and their stories kept me turning the pages.
Read it in one day.
Her use of conjunctions to start sentences is grating, but otherwise Steel is a pleasant, easy read.
